Hi EBBs,

The bird continued to be present from about 12:30 to 1:30pm this =
afternoon.  He was foraging around in the described area for quite some =
time, unfazed by flying kites, and people and dogs on the paved walking =
path.  We got very good views until he decided to hunker down in the =
grass at about 1:15.  We could then barely see the top of his head and =
his eye through the scope.  We located him for a birder who arrived =
after he hunkered down.  I hope that he finally showed himself to the =
birder who was patiently waiting for him to pop up.  There were also =
several Savannah sparrows feeding in the same area.  So far this year we =
have tracked down and seen 2 out of 3 unusual birds reported, the snow =
bunting and the Lapland Longspur, thanks to the East Bay Birders!

Good luck!

Laura Gee
